KAMAU MITCHELL '19 Recruiting Profile

I am a natural athlete with excellent shooting ability (both 3-point and mid-range) and good court awareness. I am an excellent finisher at the rim and a team leader.  I led my high school team (Thomas Stone H.S, Waldorf, MD) in scoring my senior year with a (19.0 pg) average and was selected 1st Team All-County, 1st Team ALL-Conference,  and 3rd Team All-State. I received a full athletic scholarship in 2018-19 to attend the University of Charleston (W.V) and I am currently a red-shirt sophomore at Garrett College (JUCO) in McHenry, MD, where I lead my team with a 20.2 ppg scoring average, a 48.6% FG shooting percentage and a 38.6% 3PT shooting percentage. After graduation in Spring 2023, I am looking to transfer to a 4-year institution that is an excellent fit culturally and athletically. I currently have two years of Division I and Division II eligibility remaining  I believe that I am an ideal candidate for the right Division I or II basketball program and would make an excellent addition to their 2023-24 roster. 

I come from a family with a very strong basketball tradition. My first cousin, Akil Mitchell currently plays overseas and is a former NBA D League player for Grand Rapids (Houston Rockets) Akil is also a former All-ACC power forward for the University of Virginia (2010-2014). My dad also played college basketball and I have two cousins who are currently playing Division I and Division II basketball. I love basketball and movies. My Ultimate goal is to play Division I college basketball and become an Entrepreneur (like my Dad) after I finish my basketball career.
